macOS Monterey: /usr/bin/python missing
Critic Markup in Marked is not working with macOS Monterey.
The built-in script markedcritic.py relies on "#!/usr/bin/python" which is not present any longer in Monterey 12.3. There's only "/usr/bin/python3" (version 3.8.9). Creating a symlink from python3 to python is not possible (Operation not permitted – even for root due to SIP?).
What can be done until Marked 2 is updated to support python installed in other places (e.g via home-brew)?

That's only the beginning of the issue, apparently. Despite what the shebang line says, Marked executes that script using /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and that entire framework is apparently no longer included. It's not always reliable to point directly to /usr/bin, but I just updated it to use /usr/bin/python3 if the framework is missing. Works for me in testing.
There's nothing you can do do modify this, the call is made from within the binary and is hardcoded. I'll get an update with this fix out this week, though.
